Answer:
-88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let N(x) be the number of students at NMS for a certain number of years.
Let S(x) be the number of students at SMS for a certain number of years.
Let x be the number of years.
N(x)=1240-25x
S(x)=800-30x
When # of students is equal, N(x)=S(x). Therefore, we are looking for the value of x (# of years) when 1240-25x=800-30x
Subtract 1240 from each side
-25x=-440-30x
Add 30x
5x=-400
x=-88 years
Check your numbers.
The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?
3 < 6
3 + 5 < 6 + 5
8 < 11
The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.
Y = 6
x = 7
It’s the answer
